Australia won the first T20I and the one-off Test by a combined score of 89 runs, but then lost the next two games to drop the three-match T20I series 2-1. The Alyssa Healy-led team lost by two wickets in the opening match of the ODI series at Bristol’s Country Ground, sealing their fate. Given that Australia has dropped its last three games in the ongoing Women’s Ashes, there appear to be numerous issues right now.
Jess Jonassen, an all-rounder for Australia, is optimistic that the squad can win the last two games and bring the urn back to their country despite the setbacks. Considering that the series is still up for grabs and the visitors haven’t lost it since 2015, even one game would be sufficient for them.
Jess Jonassen further stated that everyone on the team is highly dissatisfied and angry with their own performance. In the next two games, she anticipates the team improving since she thinks everyone can perform better.
The cricketer also emphasized that although the team is incredibly motivated to win the current iteration of the prestigious competition, it is not currently in a panic.
We’ve not really given our best performances in the last few games, and we’re pretty unhappy and frustrated with our own individual and collective efforts. In spite of that, there is a lot of competition inside the group, and we take great delight in the cricket games we have won as a team.
We have lost the last three matches, which is unfortunate, but on the other hand, we still have the Ashes to win, so that is what is first on our minds. The sun still rises the next day, even if it is hidden behind clouds, according to Jonassen, who was reported by cricket.com.au. “This team has won many cricket games over a number of years, but the last three haven’t really gone our way.
On July 16, The Rose Bowl in Southampton will host the second One Day International of the series. The game has a slight potential of being ruined by rain; therefore, the toss could be crucial for both teams.
